So, hi everybody, and welcome to a very bored Borris. Gee, this is starting to sound like an LJ post, but it's not, nor is it even worthy of such. This, of course, is really saying a lot.
Anyway, my point today is to find the most inefficient way of doing things, such as, for example, listening to FX Radio, something which is rather easy to do, assuming you've got an AAC+ capable media player. I've heard that foobar 0.8.3 doesn't know how to do channel coupling, although the newer, inferior Foobar can play it. Oh well... Anyhow, here's my really inefficient setup so far. Any suggestions are welcome: I've got a virtual machine installed on my main desktop running Windows 2000. Under this machine, I've connected to my VPN, which is on the other ISP, and currently outside of my lan segment. This machine is running Tor and Privoxy. So, through the VPN, I'm tuneling through Tor to a remote machine somewhere. So, I have to go outside my network, across to my other ISP, then from there to that machine's tor socks4, to a remote machine. From this point, I could, for example, connect to another VPN on my other ISP over the remote socks4, which would be incredibly slow and bad. Let's just leave that setp out for now. After having done all this, I load up Winamp, set it's output to a virtual audio cable, load up audio repeater, rout that virtual audio cable to yet another virtual audio cable, load another instance of vac, and rout the final audio cable back to the virtual Windows sound card, which, in itself, is emulated, and then has to be routed back to a physical output device, in this case my on-board Realtech card. After having set all this up, I can connect to FX Radio, which is originating from an old Compaq desktop that is less than a foot away from me. As a result of all this pointlessness, a very large all that for that situation has successfully been created. I could have just loaded something tiny and little, but instead, I'm using VMWare, which uses 300something mb of ram to host the guest operating system, then running all this crap under that, through all the bad stuff mentioned previously. By the way, I'm writing this message under said virtual machine with Outlook Express, a client which I absolutely hate. So, that should tell you how bored I am. Now I'm going to turn off the virtual file and printer sharing, and purpousfully infect my virtual machine ith oads of viruses, just to see what they do. For anyone interested, I just got the following on my fake messenger service: Messenger Service Message from SYSTEM to ERROR on 12/19/2006 11:49:49 AM STOP!
